I currently have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (almost 2 years old) and I really would like to upgrade my computer. I'm running on AGP, and I really would like to get a whole new system, but I don't have the money for that, so looks like I'll just have to upgrade the videocard only. The only thing I request is that it's less than $200.

I'm thinking of getting whatever the highest GeForce GT model is that's less than $200. I think it's a 7600 GT?

Thanks for the help


Oh, and in case you guys need more stats, I have a MSI K7N2 Delta motherboard, AMD Sempron 3000+, and 2 GB of RAM.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814143046     this is the biggest card for agp slots. from some benchmark tests Ive read its not the best. in my opinion get this one by xfx. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814150210   xfx also has a double lifetime warranty.  the 7600 has a higher core clock . and in most tests Ive seen it performers with in a few points of the 7800. just make sure your power supply is powerful enough. id say at least 450 to 500 watts at no less than 20 amps. i have a 7600 and it plays bf2 and 2142 all in high settings with 2xaa. i get an average of 80-90 fps in bf2.  i haven't seen a 7800 agp run in person but I'm sure that it would smoke the 7600 when really put through its paces. xfx dose make a 7800gs. and like the rest of there video cards I'm sure its aw some. but its still like 300 bucks. so for the money you got id got 7600gt

Get the 7600, better performance at a good deal.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I don't do any overclocking at all. My case's cooling system isn't the greatest. I can keep my comp on for days at a time, but the moment I try any OC'ing, it shuts down

But I will definitely check out the 7600 GT, thanks
